Solana DRAFT 00, Owner'S Manual

Page: 89 / 127

OPERATION NOTES:
1. The Solana ™ spa is equipped with a 10-minute Tranquil Mode timer delay on the heating/maintenance mode. Whenever the high
speed mode of the jet pump has been turned off, it will take 10 minutes before the low speed of the jet pump and heater become
activated, unless the JETS button is pushed again. Always push the JETS button to turn off the jet pump when exiting the spa. In the
standard 115 volt 15 amp electrical configuration, the heating system does not operate simultaneously with the high speed pump.
On the other hand, in the optional 115 volt 30 amp system, the heating system does operate simultaneously with the high speed
pump.
2. The spa controller has an automatic two-hour “time-out” feature should the high-speed jet mode be left on inadvertently. After two
hours of continuous operation, the controller will automatically return to the maintenance/heating mode.
3. The spa controller also has a six-hour “time out” feature should the light be left on inadvertently.
After six hours of continuous
operation, the controller will automatically turn the light off.
HEATING AND HYDROMASSAGE SYSTEMS
The Solana
™
spa uses a two-speed jet pump to operate its hydromassage jets and to circulate the spa water through the heating system.
The low-speed mode of the pump, which is activated automatically by the control thermostat, will cause the spa water to be drawn
slowly in through the filter and into the pump. The pump, in turn, will push the water back into the spa through the heater and jets.
When the JETS button is pushed one time, the spa user can activate the low speed filtration cycle of the jet pump. (The heater may or
may not be on, depending on whether the control thermostat has indicated a demand for heat.) When the JETS button is pushed a
second time, the high speed operation cycle of the jet pump will be activated. (This will automatically deactivate the heater if it is
operating in a standard 15 amp system.)
In the optional 115 volt 30 amp electrical system, if a drop in the water temperature has occurred, the spa heater will operate
simultaneously when the jet pump is operating on high speed. On the other hand, in a standard 115 volt 15 amp electrical system, the
spa heater will not operate simultaneously when the jet pump is operating on high speed, even if a drop in the water temperature has
occurred. In either electrical configuration, when the high-speed mode of the jet pump is turned off, the spa will enter a ten-minute
“tranquil mode.” During this time the heating system (and simultaneous operation of the jet pump at low speed) will not operate
(unless the JETS button is pushed), even if the water temperature has dropped below the control setting. Once the 10-minute period has
expired, the spa controller will switch to the maintenance mode and the heating system will be automatically activated.
The Solana
™
spa is equipped with a state-of-the-art heating system. The system uses an exclusive “flow through” No-Fault
®
1000
stainless steel, high watt density heater.
